Best easy access acct WITHOUT an app?
My 89 year old father has a significant amount of money all deposited in one bank.

Not a single high street bank in our…

Closing the Edge Saver account
My 7% Edge saver account finishes its bonus part of the interest next month. I gather if you withdraw the money and close it you can then open a new one for another year at the current bonus rate. Can you close it via the app and if so how? Can’t see anything obvious.

Premium bonds on line withdraw
cannot withdraw on line. They have known about this for a while apparently and still haven't resolved it. If you phone them you are directed to AI and still cannot withdraw. No problem putting money in though.

Deed of variation
My father died 18 months ago, and we set up a deed of variation on half of his estate. We got a financial advisor involved who said this would be a good way to protect the assets (cash no property) for our family line, and also from the money being swallowed by potential care home fees in the future for ourselves (we had…

Basket of ITs
I basically have three chunks of share-type investments. An AJ Bell SIPP (Gilts & value ETFs), a Vanguard SIPP (LS75) both deliberately dull. The "racier" chunk is going to be an II ISA that I want to setup as a basket of decently yielding ITs with a regular investment into all of them that's approx the value of 1/12th the…

Should I convert my old-style YBS savings into an online one?
Hi, ages ago (possibly 25+ years ago), I had a saving account with the now-defunct Norwich and Peterborough Building Society, which I kind of forgot of, until about 6 or 7 years ago, when Yorkshire Building Society bought it. Because I didn't live in East Anglia any more and I had a YBS branch right next to me, I converted…

Index-linked gilt ladder
I have some soon to mature ISLCs. Due to the changes in conditions (no withdrawals allowed) I'm intending to ditch these & build an index-linked gilt ladder instead. IIUC this is superior in most ways: no restrictions on withdrawing (cashing in), linked to RPI not CPI currently, and very tax-effective even if held in a…

It is not in trust. I cannot for the life of me find a childrens account that has this as an option. Barclays who I bank with have stopped…
